These Nuts


My sister gave me the idea to make my Dad's favorite treat for a Christmas present. I thought it would be fun to give him a variety of flavors, not that it matters too much because he inhales them. These would be great for a house party, movie night or while listening to Dr. Dre's "Deeez Nuuuts"

Makes 4 cups
30-45 minutes

4 cups Raw cashews, or raw nuts of your choice

Base
1/3 cup Vegan butter
1/3 Light brown sugar

Spicy Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1/4 tsp Salt

Garam Masala
1 tsp Garam Masala
1/4 tsp Salt

Rosemary
2 Tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely diced
dash Cayenne pepper

Dill
1 Tbsp Fresh dill, finely diced
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Salt
Black pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Split nuts into 4 bowls, 1 cup each. Melt butter in microwave, add sugar and mix.
2. Split "base" between the four bowls of nuts and toss each. Add spices to separate bowls and toss again.
3. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Keeping flavors separate, spread out evenly (I baked in two sets, consecutively, to make it a bit easier) and bake for 15-20 minutes.
4. Serve warm or cool.

Each flavor is measured out to one cup of nuts.
